Champagne school: Côte des Blancs and the Aube

A vineyard-focused masterclass exploring the key growing areas of Champagne, specifically the Côte des Blancs and the Aube region.

This masterclass explores Champagne's key growing areas, starting with the chalky vineyards of the Côte des Blancs. The first session covers the grand cru villages and how the thin topsoils translate into wines with tension and finesse. After a light lunch, the second session explores the Aube region, noting its limestone and marl soils produce rounder, more fruit-driven wines.
